What kind of an idiot puts a light switch right there? I'm laughing yet somewhat annoyed and it's not even my problem. Anyone experienced with hot (120V if I'm guessing and understanding right) work can take a try at removing the switch and just connecting the wires with wire nuts. --------------- *...

Cool pics, Dillon. I'm glad you got the help you needed. As for the tower, I'm gonna have to go with Eric G on this one...looks like an old microwave tower. But it is a very cool installation, nevertheless. I would say it probably could survive the wind if it were installed out here on the good old ...

One could play "O Christmas Tree" through a Modulator or Whelen if they had one. :wink: In addition to having the lights wrapped around the thing.

Good work Ben! Haha you never cease to amaze me. I thought about decorating my STH10 a few years back, but I threw the idea in the trash. And no, no sirens are planned to be decorated...but perhaps...my US&S H-5 searchlight signal if I get it working in time for Christmas!! Yup...I'm an official...

Pretty well. Chopper setting 1 on a T-bolt RCM is 120V if I'm not mistaken.

By law every nuclear power plant/nuclear facility has got to have a voice capable warning system If it was against the law not to have voice, then TMI would not be getting T-128s. Are you sure you didn't mean battery backup? Battery backup is the requirement; I stand corrected. I forgot that Comanc...

The Model 2 uses a very forgiving motor. I believe it is a universal series. I remember a video some years ago of Adam Smith growling/revving up his Model 2 with a 12V battery. It wasn't full blast of course, but it was decent considering they're designed for AC power at higher voltages.
